How to Win at College
I actually enjoyed reading this selection because the information was interesting. Scheduling Free Time was a section I enjoyed. I never thoguht to schedule my free time and work time, I would always do work then say I needed a break. Also, not studying in groups has never occured to me. I will study with no more than 3 people, anything after that gets too distracting. I normally do study alone unless I have a class with someone I know and they need help. All of the information I knew, but it was something I didn't really think about.
Navigating Your Freshman Year
In this selection, I had to reflect on what my freshman year was like, and some of the mentioned material did apply to my frist year in college. I liked the part about leaving home, where they informed you on some items that were necessary and the ones that were not. Also how to deal with saying goodbye to your family. They are right when they say it really is only sad because we are leaving our comfort zone. I think people are just scared to leave what they know so well and don't want to start over. I personally didn't have to go through the process of getting stuck with a roommate I didn't know, but the section on living with a roommate still applies. I live with my best friend that i've known since first grade. We talked about who was getting what things for our place, and yes we have our days where we don't agree. But besides that, I enjoy living with her and I have no idea what it would be like if I lived with a total stranger.
